Causes of Motorcycle Crashes in Jackson

Tennessee traffic crash data shows that Madison County ranks high in motorcycle crashes, with more than 4,000 Class M licensed drivers in the county. Since motorcycles are not equipped with the level of accident protective devices like most modern motor vehicles, motorcycle crashes almost always result in some level of injury to the driver. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcyclists accounted for 14% of traffic fatalities across the United States in 2014.

Motorcycle wrecks can occur for a variety of reasons. The driver of a larger car or truck may not see the motorcyclist if the driver is texting while driving or talking on the phone. If the driver is impaired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, his reaction time may be slower than normal and he could fail to take necessary steps to avoid the impact. Any action considered unreasonable under the given circumstances is usually proof of negligence under Tennessee law.

A motorcycle accident lawyer in the Jackson area can help victims try to show that a driver was negligent. Sometimes, violating a safety law can be considered negligence per se. This is also known as negligence as a matter of law. Proving a violation of a law that the victim was within the class of persons that the law was supposed to protect is one way to satisfy this burden of proof.

Serious Injuries That Occur in a Motorcycle Accident

Fractures, broken bones, torn ligaments, and other serious injuries may result from a motorcycle crash. Injuries such as these could require surgery, leading to possible permanent or long-term scarring at the incision site. A majority of victims suffer bruising, cuts, contusions, burns, or “road rash” from contact with the road during the collision, all of which can also lead to permanent scarring or disfigurement. Victims are entitled to recover damages based on scarring, especially if the scars are large and obvious and located on visible areas of the body such as the face, arms, or legs. Even if plastic surgery is performed, some scarring may always be present.

Motorcycle accident victims who suffer wounds that could lead to permanent scarring or disfigurement should immediately consult with a physician to determine whether any preventative medical care measures are available to reduce permanent scarring. If such measures are not available and scarring is inevitable, then it may be necessary for a victim to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine whether the scar can be removed or minimized through surgical intervention. Even if the victim does not choose to undergo scar revision surgery immediately, a surgical estimate can be helpful in quantifying the amount of damages that may be necessary to compensate the injured party for future medical care.
